Media Advisory: Centre Asks News Outlets to Refrain from Covering Army Movements

New Delhi ( The Uttam Hindu )- Media organizations should not cover army movement: Central Government… After the Pahalgam attack, the situation between India and Pakistan remains tense. Pakistan knows that India will surely give a reply to this cowardly act, therefore they are ready to cooperate in the investigation of the Pahalgam attack. At the same time, the Central Government on Saturday advised the country's media channels to avoid live telecasting of defense operations and movement of security forces and said that this kind of reporting may help the enemies knowingly or unknowingly. It is clear from this instruction that something big is about to happen.

Media organizations should not cover army movement: Central Government… The advisory issued by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said, 'In the interest of national security, all media platforms, news agencies and social media users are advised to exercise utmost responsibility while reporting on matters relating to defence and other security-related operations and strictly follow existing laws and regulations.' On one hand, the Pakistani Prime Minister is talking about investigation and on the other hand, the Pakistani army fired on the LoC for the second consecutive day.

Media organizations should not cover army movement: Central Government… Indian Army retaliated. There are no reports of casualties." The advisory also said that premature disclosure of sensitive information could inadvertently assist hostile elements and jeopardise operational impact and safety of personnel. The advisory cited past incidents such as the Kargil war, the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks and the Kandahar hijacking when coverage had adversely impacted national interests.
